Chicken Roll

Bored with Asian food for dinner/lunch, I decided to make Chicken Sausage Roll. It's pretty easy, I just use Puff Pastry instead of home-made one (saves so much time too).

Ingredients:

• 500 g puff pastry
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 750 g chicken mince
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon each of ground sage, black pepper, white pepper, salt, ground/grated ginger
  
• 4 finely chopped spring onions
• 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce

Topping:

• Sesame seeds
  

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 deg. C. Lightly grease two oven trays.
2. Mix half the beaten eggs with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, then divide into 6 even portions. Spoon the filling down the centre of each piece of pastry, then brush the edges with some of the egg. Fold th epastry over the filling, overlapping the edges & placing the join underneath, Brush the rolls with more egg, then cut each into 6 short pieces. Sprinkle the pastry with sesame seeds after glazing.
   
3. Cut 2 small slashes on top of each roll, place on the baking trays & bake for 15 mins. Reduce the oven temperature to 180 deg. C & bake for another 15 mins, or until puffed & golden.

Serve with tomato/chili/sweet chilli sauce.

Sausage Roll

I made this pastry because of "idle" sausages & leftover puff pastry.
This was how I made it:

Ingredients:

• Pampas puff (thawed, cut into 2 either rectangular or triangular, your choice). 1 sheet makes 2 rolls.
  
• Sausages, cut horizontally into 2 pieces.
• Cheddar cheese (either block cheese or the slice one). If you use block cheese, you need to grate it. For the slice one, you can cut into 2.
• BBQ sauce.
  
• Italian herbs for spice.
• Parmesan cheese.
• Egg.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to medium temperature.
   
2. Arrange Pampas puff on a tray, brush the BBQ sauce on top of it. Put the cheese, sausage on top of it.
3. Sprinkle Italian herbs on top of the sausage.
   
4. Quickly roll the puff & tighten the sides by pressing it with finger / fork. Don't wait too long for the puff dries quickly. You can cover it with a damp cloth if you have more to make. You may need a little bit of water to stick both sides together.
5. Brush egg on the top of the roll.
   
6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of it.
7. Bake it for 15 minutes. Just watch it. It bakes quite quickly.

Now you can enjoy your Sausage Roll!!

Salmon Roll

My hubby loves to eat salmon. Consuming salmon is considered to be healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids and high vitamin D content.

It's not different to make it from Sausage Roll. Quite simple & quick.

Ingredients:

• Pampas puff (thawed, cut into 2 rectangulars). 1 sheet makes 2 pies.
  
• Salmon, cut thinly.
  
• Cheddar cheese (either block cheese or the slice one). If you use block cheese, you need to grate it. For the slice one, you can cut into 2.
• Italian herbs, parsley for spices.
• Egg.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to medium temperature.
   
2. Arrange Pampas puff on a tray, put the salmon , cheese, on top of it.
3. Sprinkle Italian herbs & parsley on top of the salmon.
   
4. Quickly roll the puff & tighten the sides by pressing it with finger / fork. Don't wait too long for the puff dries quickly. You can cover it with a damp cloth if you have more to make. You may need a little bit of water to stick both sides together.
5. Brush egg on the top of the roll.
   
6. Bake it for 15 minutes. Just watch it. It bakes quite quickly. You don't want the fish to be too dry.
   

Salmon Pie is quite filling. It's great for simple lunch/dinner. It's easy, and very nutritious.
